How you got started

[Rasmus]

Hi all

I have a few questions on how some of you e-entrepreneurs on here approached the whole business in your early life.

Currently i have a whole lot of ideas on how to create new things and how to improve things that already exists. I know it might sound a bit cheesy but i really do believe that some of the things i want to create on the web might actually become something.

My problem is that i do not have any knowledge on how to program. I have been wondering on different scenarios that i could follow later on. Either team up with someone else that really knows programming and shares the enthusiasm that i have(although this might become quite difficult since i dont really know anyone with these skills that i can trust completely). Another approach is to contact some business-angel or other venture fund and try to convince them that i know what i am doing and then use the money they provide to either outsource the whole idea to other programmers or perhaps hire some if the budget allows it.

A whole other approach is for me to go to school and learn it for myself which should atleast allow me to create some kind of beta-version. Atleast something launch-able.

I am 19 years old. So even though i want to get started asap i am also aware that i have a lot of experience (bad and hopefully some good) ahead of me, but i could really use some good advice on where to go from here.

I hope you understand the problem. I am no expert at the english language so if something above sounds a bit weird for you - please explain and i will try to rephrase.
